Back in action: Catch-up. (11A); Ivan Henry: British Columbia; Globe and Mail scribe Gary Mason draws our attention to Vancouver lawyer Joan McEwan's remarkable recently published book "Innocence on trial: The framing of Ivan Henry" - as he concludes that "Mr. Henry’s tragic story deserves to be included in a gallery of the worst examples of wrongful convictions in our country’s (Canada's) history - and that in Canada "the wrongfully convicted are never truly set free." (As Mason notes, one of the many policing abominations occurred when three police officers put Henry in a choke-hold for the line-up photo! HL);

 For purchase of "Innocence on Trial: The framing of Ivan Henry" from the publisher's site:
n early-1980s Vancouver, Ivan Henry was an ex-convict still adjusting to civilian life when he was detained on a break-and-enter charge. A short time later, he found himself on trial for ten charges of sexual assault-crimes he vehemently denied committing. Declared a dangerous offender in November 1983, Henry spent twenty-seven years in prison before being acquitted in 2010 on the basis of unreliable evidence. To this day he has not been compensated or publicly exonerated.
This is a powerful story of justice miscarried and one man's determined quest to win restitution for the wrongly convicted.
